In the summer of that year she presented herself as a candidate for the mayorship of Marbella, creating the Yola Independiente Liberal (YIL) party, with the slogan "Marbella, because Yola is worth it."[9][10][11] Santiago Segura hired her in 2007 to work as a contributor to his program Sabías a lo que venías [es] on LaSexta, where once a week she gave her personal opinion about books that she had previously read. She appeared on Sálvame [es] in June 2009.

In 2012 she formed a new musical group, Atrevidas, with Sonia Monroy, whose best-known song was a cover of Sabrina's "Boys (Summertime Love)".[12] Since then she has worked as an image girl in nightclubs and announced mobile games through her Twitter account.
